Fried eggplant with honey is very popular in the South and Center of Spain, and it became popular in Barcelona fairly recently. I’d dare to say Bar Cañete was probably the first local bar to include it in their menu. Before that, you’d find thick, fried slices of eggplant served in some bars, but they were not as refined and flavorful as those with honey. Fried eggplant with honey is instead finely sliced, almost as if they were chips, and they come drizzled with honey or molasses. It might sound like a weird combination, but trust me, it’s one well worth trying.
